(Lynyrd Skynyrd) After we had our hardwood floors and steps sanded and refinished, we decided to pretty up those steps with a carpet runner, which explains why we visited Galaxy Discount Carpet Store today. That decision ended up being a FIVE STAR experience. Their two floor showroom is just incredible! Sample boards, rolls stacked on the floor in rows, area rugs hanging from the ceiling, gorgeous stuff everywhere. We met with Charlie and explained to him what we were looking for. He said that staircase runners can either be pre-manufactured in big rolls, or custom cut from carpeting meant for rooms. We knew we wanted a runner in some shade of gray to complement our wall color, and decided on a carpet runner to be cut from a big grayish roll and then finished with black binding along the edges, to complement the black stair rail and contrast with the white stair risers. It was installed 72 hours later, and that was pretty amazing in it's own right. Communication with Galaxy was great. Charlie was a dream to work with, the installers called us the day before install to confirm the date and time window, and the van with two workers arrived as scheduled mid-afternoon and did a neat professional job on the install. Charlie's price was $140 less than one we had from a flooring company out in our neck of the woods, and the carpet quality was better at Galaxy. Everything went well, and the stairs look great!

Upon walking inside the first thing I have to mention is the awful, awfully strong smell of mold. It's everywhere. The only way to escape it was to get out of the store. This store primarily sells rugs, they are beautiful rugs, they come in a variety of patterns and sizes. They are hung on walls and stacked on the floor. I couldn't help but wonder if I were to purchase a rug wouldn't I also be purchasing the odor that comes with it? The rugs are thick and made of wool, it's a process to wash them. They also sell some beautiful framed artwork. There was more downstairs, I just couldn't stay due to the smell. This store has a lot of potential, they should do something about the mold.

We found Creative Carpet in 2011 (after getting a new set of oak stairs installed by Henri Carrier…read morein Naugatuck, to replace a previously fully carpeted pine set). We have dogs, and need a runner for the dog's security running down the stairs. We realized the stairs looked so good it needed a runner that was just as nice. A nice oriental pattern maybe? However, we have what I now realize is "pie steps" at the bottom landing - so that meant we could only do non-patterned runner - and the oak treads were too nice to allow that. So, we found Creative Carpet, because they could do the apparently IMPSSIBLE: custom weave a patterned stair runner so it flawlessly meets the pattern at the angles of our stairs! This was in 2011 - I'm writing this now in 2018 (almost 2019) because we're cleaning carpets, and the stair runner has held up so well - you'd never know it was installed 7 years ago! John & Eileen were very easy to work with, design choices, scheduling, custom in-place installation, and we even picked out a hallway runner for the upstairs. We couldn't be happier - even 7 years later! Thanks John & Eileen!

One of the quotes we received was from a big box store, and I do not recommend. On top of taking forever to receive, their specialist told us they couldn't do something that Epstein said was absolutely no issue. The two men who came to do measurements for Epstein Brothers were clearly professionals to the point that this was second nature to them - bouncing ideas off of each other on the spot, keeping me in the loop with their suggestions, making sure anything I decided on was something that wouldn't need to be changed down the road (for example, making sure we weren't redoing the downstairs bathroom anytime soon before they custom cut vinyl planks around the existing vanity and toilet). The installer that showed up was incredibly professional, efficient, and even helped my husband move a heavier object to make room for the new carpeting. The salesperson who helped us decide which carpet and vinyl we were going with in the showroom was also incredibly helpful. Not a single person was pushy, and they were all honest and upfront with what was and wasn't a good idea. We will definitely be going to Epstein when we inevitably need to redo the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. They earned a customer for life out of me!
